Helios Clinic Group to introduce doctors’ portal

Germany’s Helios Clinic Group is to introduce a group wide doctors’ portal product called jesaja.net, to be delivered by CompuGroup subsidiary ISPro GmbH.

Use of the jesaja.net portal by Helios clinics for acute cases will help improve secure communication between doctors and hospitals across Germany’s public and private healthcare systems.

After the first successful evaluations of jesaja.net’s application at acute clinics in Erfurt, Bleicherode and Leisnig, all remaining acute Helios clinics will now have ISPro’s doctor portal installed.

The portal platform improves the availability of data to doctors by synchronizing and presenting them with data from a wide variety of existing source systems. The platform is said to be able to handle a wide range of very different data formats from various information systems for doctors.

Features of the jesaja.net telematics platform are said to include protecting core systems against unauthorised external access, ensuring the availability of data is guaranteed around the clock and authenticating the data source of all information presented through the portal.

ISPro GmbH says that with the new Helios Clinic Group contract win it now has an 85% percent market share in the doctor portal market.

With 60 clinics, 17,300 beds, 500,000 inpatient cases per year, as well as annually 700,000 ambulatory patient cases, Helios is one of the leading hospital groups in Germany.

"Our colleagues at ISPro have prevailed against competition from many equally renowned companies in the German IT applications for hospitals sector. This motivates us even more to expand our broad range of products and services for the electronic networking of hospitals and clinic groups in cooperation with other stakeholders in healthcare and provide them to further hospitals and clinic groups," said Frank Gotthardt, director of the board of CompuGroup Holding AG.
